Leeds United Thread - 2022/23

[kismet]

I have no problem with Leeds and the Revie connection.

Fans wishing us well tonight and appreciate our tribute.

They're not part of the cartel and always ok when I go to Elland Rd these days

American owners very rarely if ever use there own money they use hedge funds banks seems they powers that be are all happy with that! God forbid a rich owner uses his own money not the banks!

Yanks want a piece of footballs pie and they never gave a fuck about “Soccer”
Till they see the $ signs kunts

One of the reasons I heard (not sure how true it is) is that in the US, the way it works is if a team from New York sells merchandise in New York, they solely profit from it, but it they sell merchandise in another state/city then the profits are distributed evenly amongst all the teams in the league... The PL is attractive to the Yanks because they don't have to share their profits.

Only Leeds aren't in the PL ;)

Another Yank owned club.

Just what football needs....

If they don't go up they'll be demanding a PL2 this time next year.

Another American owned club, now.
Another step towards Franchise Football.

I thought they were already.

I’m not sure that’s true.

However, in the NFL, all profits are shared equally between the 32 franchises.

100% owned by the "49:ers" now.

The dippers tried to change the arrangements on PL overseas income so that each club got the monies associated with the showing of their games. No go said PL.

Off topic but... But just wanted to say, massive respect to Man Citeh fans for the tribute to Kev & Chris in Istanbul. We'll remember this! Now go get the f'ing treble lads! MOT
